Paddington Town Hall restoration
The facade was restored to ensure this historic building continues to be accessible and welcoming for a range of community uses.
Project Status: Completed
Work began in May 2012 and completed in 2013.
What we’re doing
Paddington Town Hall is an impressive example of the Victorian free classical architectural style. It's adjacent to the Victoria Barracks at the highest point on the Oxford Street ridge, on the corner with Oatley Road.
The heritage-listed building, which was built in the late 1800s, features a 32m high clock tower which was completed in 1905 to commemorate the coronation of King Edward VII.
Today, Paddington Town Hall caters to a wide range of community uses and events including corporate functions, arts and cultural gatherings, weddings, film shoots, community groups, charities and schools and is available for public hire.
Façade restoration
We restored the façade of Paddington Town Hall to ensure this historic and valued building continues to be accessible and welcoming for a range of community uses. The building’s original features were carefully restored to protect it into the future. Works also included measures to improve the building’s environmental footprint.
